I love how obsessed Barry is with the idea a dog would be more efficient with scissors with four limbs than a human who also has four limbs and opposable thumbs
Even when it's about to end, Barshens still surprises me. This time by being the first english speaking youtube channel I've seen referring to the town of Brest
Please don't stop making weekly videos. With all the different formats you have, its certainly not losing any of the fizz! Sad to see Linton go, but hopefully you can find another editor, and use Patreon funds to keep u any needed costs and logistical issues?
@@BritishAdam thank you. I did recall Stuart and Barry speaking briefly on the subject recently, mentioning that it wouldn't be anytime too soon. I'd hate to see that, but I'm just glad we got this much brilliance.
It's on their Twitter (and Facebook): twitter.com/barshens/status/1063467315361128448 But I'll repeat it here... "We wanted you to know that the current format of Barshens will be coming to a close at the end of December. We've had a super fun 3+ years and if it weren't for you we would have collapsed a long time ago. Our beloved editor Linton (who has edited every single episode!) has decided to move on before the constant stress of weekly videos drives him doolally. He was such an important part of the team creatively, essentially crafting silk ears from the sow's excrement we would sometimes send him, that it would be incredibly difficult for someone to try to fill his shoes. This has led us to take stock of the whole Barshens shebang. We were starting to worry that the existing format was growing stale, and the show has become increasingly difficult to produce. This feels like the perfect time for a Barshens refresh. In 2019 Barshens will continue, but as an expanded version of the podcast with a tighter format and a visual element. Like one of those video podcasts, except weirder and with more sharticles. Videos will still be hosted on the UA-cam channel & the podcast will be available for download in all the normal places. It'll be hosted by Barry and Stuart with guests from our many contacts including some very familiar faces from Barshens to date. We might even take it on the road from time to time. As you can imagine, this has been a very, very tough decision. But it's either this or kill the whole thing off entirely. We cannot thank you guys enough for supporting us so far. Without your help we would never have been able to recreate a Jurassic Park ride using less than £15 worth of junk from Amazon, or dredged the depths of Eli's Dirty Bucket. And hopefully you'll enjoy the videos leading up to the new year (We're particularly fond of Sharticles Theatre) and the new format beyond. Big hugs Barshens"
"the mum's left and he's gotta raise up three daughters" Surprisingly spot on guess at Papakiki, except they're his nieces and only the youngest is his sister's actual daughter. So its not weird when he marries the oldest.
For a second I thought Bono had stopped doing the carpets, but upon a closer look his credit was just covered up by the patreon title, so all is well. Though I don't think he'll take kindly to having his hard work with the carpets be covered up.
Even more interesting, this is not the normal credit. Most Barshens video (every video besides this one if I'm not mistaken), CARPETS are credited for the role of BONO, whereas here BONO is credited for the role of CARPETS. Truly, you can see the line between fact and fiction is coming apart at the seams in these final episodes.
@@alexeverett308 The Patreon message seemed pretty sure it was happening, due to Linton (who has to date edited all videos together) leaving, and what some logistical stuff.
Yeah, it was on the FB page to. It is a really big shame. Honestly one of my favourite UA-cam channels right now. Was looking forward to being on it one day to (indigogo reward.) Hahaha.
Given the situation, I understand your decision but this is still the exact opposite direction I wanted the show to take : / I was kinda hoping to see a few more big challenges in the style of the Toblerone cup video. But the thing that'll be hardest to see go is the sense of camaraderie the crew has built up over these past three years. I know it was a giant pain in the ass for you guys and made it unsustainable in the end, but the atmosphere that was created by a bunch of very disparate personalities from all over England making a huge trip to London every month to work hard to make this bizarre, cobbled-together monstrosity of a variety show (not to mention the hardworking editor who did most of the cobbling together) was unique and the audience could feel it from every laugh from off-screen, from every cocked up tally and from every bafflingly awkward thing Barry said.
I'm told Barshens will be a weekly podcast with a "visual element" that they hope to keep posting on Fridays, so hopefully they'll keep the camaraderie in that. They could still do the challenges too, it kinda depends on what this "visual element" actually is. Bottom line, it's not as bad as the comments first make out. Edit: Forgot to mention that as far as I know Gannon is still producing it, so don't worry about Barshens losing it's charming incompetence!
There's finally an anime quiz but it's bittersweet because the weekly videos are coming to an end. T_T You guys have always made my Friday lunchtime at work better and I will miss that. I'm looking forward to seeing how the channel evolves!
Omg so far all of these are real (had to look up a few.. didn't know what dog & scissors was) and I'm currently paused on our love has always been 10cm tall.. my prediction is they're all gonna be real haha
I'll never be able to watch mvk again without thinking this is the man that somehow got from eating a camel to camel toe in 2 seconds lol love you Barry never change
So basically, any string of words is probably an Anime? Anyway, good show. I'll miss the old format but I can understand that your editor is tired of doing it. I imagine the rest of you might be a bit tired too. Looking forward to what the new format brings.
The longer more convoluted ones are generally novel titles that were adapted though as you can imagine the community will quickly come up with nicknames to make them more reasonable.
To be fair 'Wizard Barristers' was the only one that I immediately thought to be true. Well, that and 'Dog With Scissors.' It's just the kind of zany concept anime has a field day with on the reg.
Sad about Linton leaving but I'm excited for the new format. I actually missed the podcasts you used to do. On another topic, do you know if Matthew would recommend any of the anime shown here?
"There shouldn't be anything romantic set around schools"
Oh you dear sweet naïve man.
Drunken Hobo shows every teen movie ever
Have they not heard of Highschool Musical?
He probably said that because in the UK, most kids leave school at 16.
No we still have romances set in schools here too. He's just sheltered :p
It's adorable.
This just in: Barry's agent suffers triple heart-attack
@Samson Themighty Because Barry is a family content man for his book
@@swanningabout Who are you talking to?
I love how obsessed Barry is with the idea a dog would be more efficient with scissors with four limbs than a human who also has four limbs and opposable thumbs
“A dog with scissors is amazing! That’s like four limbs!” - Barry Lewis, 2018.
Barshens is my favourite anime.
You like it better than Cory in the House?
Someone make that a thing!
Please do not stop making videos :( you are the best channel on UA-cam and the ony reason Friday makes any sense!
We’ll still aim to have them up on Fridays
@@Barshens It would be truly amazing! :)
I think they are still going to make videos just not as often, Id guess once a month (or maybe they get a new editor)
Nope every week hopefully
@@polishenglish8356 Truly amazing
#thankyoulinton
Dont thank the asshole for abandoning the project.
@@jaomang He's not an asshole. He just doesn't like doing it anymore. He doesn't owe it to you or anyone to keep doing something he doesn't want to do
He's actually moved to doing Barry's personal channel. @@jaomang
@@jaomang Only asshole here is you, and don't worry, nobody will thank you.
Before anyone asks (should they want to know) Matt works with us, his projects can be found on this channel
But we enjoy asking things we can easily find answers to :(

I'm losing my mind, i watched this video in bits and pieces over the course of the day.
I didnt see anything in the video about Barshens troubles.
They didn't mention it in video, but its on their facebook & twitter feed, and also a message sent to Patreons

@@antster1983 Sad, but y'know what i like podcasts so.... bittersweet.
Eli has clearly forgotten the proper locking-in sound: "not that"
I'm gonna miss these shenanigans immensely.
"the mum's left and he's gotta raise up three daughters" Surprisingly spot on guess at Papakiki, except they're his nieces and only the youngest is his sister's actual daughter. So its not weird when he marries the oldest.
Weeb To Whim To Win - a successful format! Also, bangin' Assassin's Creed Unity hoodie! ♥
So it wasn't actually called the Weeb To Whim To Win With The Format You Know Without The Actual Format You Know Quiz?
I feel like this was just to show how completely crazy anime can be.
7:59 synchronized head movement from Barry and ash

Where did you hear that?
@@marvellousmuffin7082 it was pushed to Patreon supporters a couple of days ago
Is it definite or are they just considering it?

you know the devil was loose when you see Barry and Eli on the same team
"You rekon there's an anime about KFC"
Well, no but there sure is a dating sim now.
7:55 they turn their heads at the exact same time.
Barshens 2 confirmed
All move in together in one super house hotel... then makes travelling redundant! Don’t die on us Barshens 😢
I figured Stuart’s experience with poorly translated tat would have come in handy.
From a certain angle, it looked like Barry kept putting his hand on Eli's knee and that's all I could concentrate on.
I'm going to really miss Barshens, good luck lads :(
my anime superpower is somehow forgetting 85% of barshens episodes even existed and being able to rewatch them all every two years
I had no idea Matt did some Barshens! Love it!
Ed....Ward Scissorhands.
Yes, i'm horrible.
This is one of the best episodes of Barshens ever.
I love Barshens!
At 2:58 for a split second I thought Barry had his hand on Eli's leg. I was confused, concerned but also elated. #Barli
Ah Barshens. My favourite UA-cam channel
7:15 is that the Japanese version of Horsin' Around ??

BRILLIANT SHOW!!!!!
These are getting stranger and stranger.
I love it.
9:00 thats the best line on barshens ever lol
Im glad they mentioned "Wizard Barristers"; I looked it up after hearing about it hear and have liked the first two episodes Ive seen so far.
You fools. Don’t you know it’s absolutely illegal to make videos about anime on UA-cam without selling your souls out to Crunchyroll sponsorship?
Ah, yes, because people who want to make a living while also supporting a service they use and enjoy are soulless sellout hacks. Grow up.
NANI!?
Not if you only buy and watch physical Media.
I love that Barry mentioned Wizard Solicitors but there is a anime about a magic law firm
A great way to start my day with some coffee and Barshens
i haven't seen dakaichi and now i'm definitely going to watch it hell yes
I would love such an answer key at my exams back at the uni :D
The post credit scenes on Barshens were better than anything Marvel has given us.
There's finally an anime quiz but it's bittersweet because the weekly videos are coming to an end. T_T You guys have always made my Friday lunchtime at work better and I will miss that. I'm looking forward to seeing how the channel evolves!
"Is [country] using the metric system?" - if it's not america, it is safe to assume that yes, they do.
Barshens + Anime = Instant click
For a moment I thought Ben Kingsley was hosting the quiz :)
I absolutely HAVE to see whatever anime Eli's been watching. From his reenactments of it, it seems balls to the wall crazy.
Where did they find younger Big Clive?
2:51 lmao ashen’s reaction
The only one I recognised was Dog & Scissors and when I watched that, it terrified me XD It was so odd
How did they get 2013 Sjin on the show?
Stuart saying "sexy" did things to me that I did not anticipate in the slightest
Omg so far all of these are real (had to look up a few.. didn't know what dog & scissors was) and I'm currently paused on our love has always been 10cm tall.. my prediction is they're all gonna be real haha
This show is amazing
I'll be honest. This is the one channel I did not expect to be out-weeaboo'd by.
quality content, don't stop
I knew this would be good because Stuart and Barry know nothing of anime.
10:40 - Why does Stuart suddenly have a clamp for only a few seconds? 🤔
Jagongung has got to be one of the best sounds ever
I'll never be able to watch mvk again without thinking this is the man that somehow got from eating a camel to camel toe in 2 seconds lol love you Barry never change
If I was running this quiz, I definitely would have added "WorldEnd: What are you doing at the end of the world? Are you busy? Will you save us?"
plasma777 I’d add is it a good idea to pick up girls in a dungeon
I'm going to miss Barshens. Especially the Quizzes, Sharticles, and all the fun games.
Incredible! How did they get Ben Kingsley to ask them anime questions? :o
ARRRRRGGGGHHH It's the creepy guy from the Ashens videos! RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hes also the shopkeeper that sold Ashens the die of judgement ... from a factory from Poland :P
@@Commandos12 That's where I know him from!
It’s not. That guy is Mentski. This isn’t Mentski.
So far my favourite post credit clip 🤣
Team Beli the winners! Well done fellas. On a sidemote, love yer 'tash,Matthew!
I'm surprised there wasn't "I want to eat your pancreas"
Linton is riding the camel into the sunset
Who would have thought that the guy with the Eva t-shirt would like Anime
Chances are there probably was a "Telescopic Shatter-proof Ruler" manga or anime somewhere along the line. lol
😅😅😅 love the victory dance! Barly wins
Cute High Earth Defense Club Love Love is one of my favourite anime, it's great.
I love it when Barry gets filthy
Who knew they could get Charles Bronson as the anime quizmaster.
Weeb to Whim to Win! It’s the game that no one wins!
That moment when you realise you've seen all of the anime in the quiz... Yeah, I've got no life.
Those lock in sounds. 😂
I take Barry's version of Dog and Scissors over the real thing.
Also Gautaman is the best
Playing along;
1. No
2. Yes
3. Yes
4. Yes
5. No
6. No
7. Yes
8. No
9. Yes
10. No
I got...
5/10, wow wasn't expecting that twist...

Anyway, good show. I'll miss the old format but I can understand that your editor is tired of doing it. I imagine the rest of you might be a bit tired too. Looking forward to what the new format brings.
The longer more convoluted ones are generally novel titles that were adapted though as you can imagine the community will quickly come up with nicknames to make them more reasonable.
I can’t believe that weekly barshens vids are soon going to end 😢
To be fair 'Wizard Barristers' was the only one that I immediately thought to be true. Well, that and 'Dog With Scissors.' It's just the kind of zany concept anime has a field day with on the reg.

squeeze that camel Barry. make the camel feel your love, become one with the camel, intertwined in eternal passion.
About time Barry wins
I’ve got a shirt just like Eli’s. the fact that I went out of my way to comment that on a Barshens video really shows what kind of person I am 👍
Is that...is that...the guy in one frames of Ashen's videos?
No.
"It will do"
im gonna miss barshens :(
Butt attack? As in attack...with a bum? XD
How'd you get Charles Bronson on the show?
IT'S HIM, IT'S THE GUY
#BringbackPaul
remember when eli had short hair
No🤔
1:40 "Not this."
I've literally seen all of these
You guys should do one with Light Novels. They have even more outrageous titles
I don't really watch anime but I got these all right.
